Issue with NVDA, Thunderbird, and pasting links
|
Scott Berry
Hello there,
I am noticing while pasting links in to my emails that NVDA 2019RC2 is taking some time to realize that the email link has been pasted in to the message. Usually I always read my messages before sending unless I am in a hurry and I notice that when the link is first embedded it doesn't want to read the link unless I go up and down with the arrows several times. It can vary how many times this is done. Here are the exact steps I take. 1. Open Thunderbird. 2. Open a new message with Control plus N. 3. I first write the message and when I get to the point where I think the link needs to be embedded I have the link in the clipboard and paste it in to the message. 3A. I always try to make sure the link actually embeds so I will especially just look for the link by going up and down as well. 4. Usually at this point is where I proof read the message and here is where NVDA has a hard time attempting to read the link. NVDA is great and I use it every day for my work as a patient advocate. I prefer it over any other screen reader that Windows can provide me with. -- Scott Berry Certified Medical Office Assistant, Associates in Allied Health, Patient Advocate Please boogie on over to our site at: http://www.berrysadvocating.biz

I must admit I don't use Thunderbird all the time, but I just tried using NVDA 2019.2 RC2. Using Thunder 52.9.1 32-bit, (Told you I don't use Thunderbird all the time), I created a new message, typed a few words, alt+tabbed to a browser, copied the URL, came back and pasted it, what I found was that NVDA would report the keystroke if I have speak command keys on, but not otherwise acknowledge pasting the link. When I read or arrow through the message however, NVDA didn't have any trouble reporting the link when it got to it. Letting Thunderbird update to version 60.8.0 (32-bit), I repeated and found exactly the same behaviour. Maybe there is something in your log? See https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/LogFilesAndCrashDumps for info on getting to the NVDA log. Regards Quentin.

Gentlemen, I have retitled this topic as it really helps archive searchers to find what they're looking for when the topic is descriptive of the actual issue. I am requesting that follow ups on this topic be done using this message (or a later one with the updated title) so that everything remains linked together.
